SMOKING-PIPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 6, 191 '7.

Application led July 19, 1916. Serial No. 110,062.

To aZZ 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, STEAVEN A. CARTER, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Argenta,county of Pulaski, and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new anduseful improvements in Smoking-Pipes, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in smoking pipes, and has for itsobject the production of a pipe of this, character which will be adaptedto afford a cool and pleasant smoke to the user.

A further object is the production of a smoking pipe which will be ofsimple and economical construction.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

lVith these objects in view, the invention consists in the combinationsand arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

'lhe invention will be best understood by reference to the accompiiiyingdrawings forming a part of this specincation, and in which,

Figure l is a central section of a pipe embodying the invention,

Fig. 2 is a top plan viev.v thereof, and Fig. 3 is a section taken online mm of F ig. l.

rl`he preferred form of construction, as illustrated in the drawings,comprises a bowl l from the lower portion of which leads a tubular steni'2 of conventional construction. lThe bottoni of the bowl l is providedwith a removable closure 3 and secured in said bowl, intermediate theends thereof, is a forarninated false bottoni 4f preferably of wiremesh.

Arranged below the member 4 is an angular partition 5 consisting of acentral longitudinally extending portion and a transversely extendingportion, the latterbeing adapted to close olf one-half of the lowerportion of the bowl, as will be readily understood. Formed in the loweredge of the vertically extending portion of the partition is a pluralityof notches or openings G through which the smoke is adapted t0 pass fromone side of said portion of said partition to the other. |Thearrangement is such that the stem 2 communicates with the portion of thebowl which is closed off by the transversely extending portion of thepartition, as seen.

TW ith this arrangement, it will be seen, that a toituous smoke passageis formed in the lower portion of the bowl, the course o f the smokebeing downwardly at the open side of the partition, thence through theopening 6 to the other side of the partition, and tlieiioe upwardly andout through the passage in stem 2. Arranged in the tortuous passage thusformed are pieces of cotton or otliei suitable absorbent material 7which are adapted to collect nicotin or other impurities with which thesmoke is laden, so as to insure a cool, mild smoke in the use of thepipe. 1vVhen desired, the pieces of absorbent material may be removed,and replaced with fresh ones by simply removing the closure 3.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form ofconstruction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable ofvariation and modification without departing from the spirit of theinvention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precisedetails of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of suchvariations and modifications as come Within the scope of the appendedclaim.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is:

A smoking pipe comprising a bowl; a tubular stem leading from said bowl;an angular partition in said bowl forming a tortuous smoke passage inthe lower portion of said bowl. said partition consisting of a centrallongitudinally.extending portion and a transversely extending upper endportion closing o one side of the lower portion of said bowl, the loweredge of said longitudinally extending portion of said partition beingprovided with an opening, said stein communicating with the lowerportion of said bowl at the side thereof closed by said transverselyextending portion of said partition; an absorbent element arranged insaid passage; a removable cloname to this specification in the presenceof sure at the bottom of said bowl tliough t-Wo subscribing witnesses.which said absorbent element may e le- T moved; .and aforaminadtedfalsebottomin STEAVEB A' CARTER' said bo'Wl above said partition,Substantially fitnesfsg Y *Y as described.
